Phase I of the project at UTSA Park West Campus, Hausman Road and Kyle Seale Parkway, is slated to include a 1,000 seat track stadium, a 1,000 seat soccer stadium, roadway, surface parking, retention basin and other related infrastructure. The City of San Antonio and Bexar County voters approved $22.1 million in bond referendum monies ($5.6 million in city bonds, $16.5 in County bonds) for the University to construct Phase 1. Eventually, all of UTSA Athletics will be located on the Park West Campus. The Athletics Complex will contain venues for baseball, softball, tennis and football practice facilities.
